We strongly support a carefully-designed safe and inclusive cycle route. However, the numbers do not add up on this diagram. It claims the carriageway is 3.4 metres, but somehow is composed of a 2m cycle lane and a 3m service lane. In fact Burleigh Street is only 10.7 metres wide so there is clearly insufficient room to have a 5 metre carriageway in the centre while still maintaining the street as a pedestrianised centre. This whole concept for Burleigh Street does not work and needs to be completely rethought.
